Mr. Geo. F. ~estbro~k, Attorney, Clermont, Florida. Dear Mr. Westbrook: The City Council has asked me to expess to you its thanks and appreciation for the splendid and unselfish way in which you have, during the past five years, handled the adjustment of the bonded indebtedness of the City of Clermont. At the time it became apparent the City could not meet its obligations without material concessions from its creditors, you began as an interested private citizen to try to relieve t~is situation. It was not an easy thing to do at that time, nor has it been easy at any time since, but you have steadily kept at the job and used every legitimate means to conv&nce the bondholders of the truth of the situation and the s~rity of the City in desiring to cooperate on any plan within its ability. Through the various steps of this program, you have not lost faith in eventually bringing relief to t~e property owners and removing the handicap hanging over the development of the City. - The Council feels tha t your report stating that the Federal Court has today given final approval of the refunding agreeman~t is the most important thing that has happened to the City for many years and that it is your outstanding contribution to the welfare of the City. It feels that the Citizens should know that your work during all these years in connection with this whole matter has been done entirely at your own expense of time and money, as the small salary which the City ha paid you during the past few months had no connection with this refunding program. It is ordered that this unanimous expression of appreciation be spread upon the records of the City. Very truly yours, ,H. C. Brown, Mayor. ~ "., Mr. Roe the alley in as possible. and when put made A motion that t~e Street Committee have bloc~81 clayed from Eighth Street as far east The motion was seconded by Mr. Stackhouse, to a vote carried unanimously.
